All About Oxfords

I just love Oxfords. They're so cute, but the perfect pair can be hard to find. You've seen Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and other celebrities wearing them. But the problem is, their oxfords are so expensive! And on a young woman's budget, those shoes are not going to be in your closet anytime soon. So where do you buy cute, inexpensive, sturdy oxfords?

My favorite oxfords!

I own two pairs of oxfords at the moment, and I'm hoping to get another pair soon. My absolute favorite pair is from...Forever 21. What? Forever 21? Yes! I was a little hesitant about buying them, but they were so cute and cheap (about $25) that if they fell apart it wasn't a big deal. I've owned them for months now, and I've worn them through New England weather. I wear them to school, when I'm out with friends, you name it. They haven't been damaged a bit! The exact shoes aren't still available at F21, but there are others like them. (See the picture to the left!) My second pair of oxfords are by Steve Madden. They're blue and white striped. They're a bit harder to make an outfit with, but they're very comfortable, and with the right outfit they look great.

If you're planning on purchasing oxfords soon, there are a few things you should consider. Do you want leather oxfords, or a different fabric? How much do you want to spend? What weather will you be wearing them in? If you'll be wearing them in snow, you may want to spend less than if you were wearing them on a sunny day. Solid colors (like mine pictured above) are much easier to wear with an outfit than something with a pattern.

Some great places to purchase oxfords are: Forever 21, Steve Madden, Nordstrom, and Urban Outfitters. Good luck!
